One of the secrets to the deliciousness of Mediterranean cooking and eating is the use of healthy sauces. These sauces are huge on flavor, elevating healthy grilled meats, veggies, legumes, salads, and other dishes in ways that make us want to eat more of them. They all store well, so easy to keep them on hand. Ready when you are!
A traditional garlic sauce that is spreadable and easily thinned to a splashy drizzle with lemon juice or olive oil. Spread on simple roasted or skewered chicken, use as a helpful flavor maker in vinaigrettes, use as a dip for veggies (stir in some yogurt for added body and goodness).
Just a few ingredients make a silky sauce to drizzle on salad, meats, roasted vegetables, wraps, and more. There are some tricks to getting this sauce down, but they're easy to master!
This dip is a gift from the flavor Gods! Use yogurt, Greek Yogurt, labneh--any will do with a shower of herbs and other aromatics. Use as a dip but also as a spread, dressing, or drizzle.
Don't forget that your olive oil is there for you, imparting savory, rich flavor and moisture as a drizzle atop dips, veggies, salads, soups, meats, and more. Even if there's EVOO already on vegetables before roasting, for example, another drizzle before serving enlivens everything.
